Why she might be annoying

What's up with those self-serving book titles?
She was married and divorced three times, her first marriage lasting just one year.
As a torch song singer, she cut over a dozen albums; only two charted and neither did that great.
She was Emmy nominated twice for her Rhonda Henry role, losing both times.
She was also nominated for and lost a Golden Globe in 1964 and a Tony in 2001.

Why she might not be annoying

In 1959, she nearly lost her life and needed an abortion due to an ectopic pregnancy.
Some time later she gave birth to a healthy baby and adopted two more children.
She did win one award; a 1958 Emmy for 'Best Actress-Single Performance' in an episode of 'Playhouse 90.'
She became a successful business entrepreneur, founding Polly Bergen Cosmetics, Polly Bergen Jewelry and Polly Bergen Shoes.
She's ambitious in many areas, stating, 'I'm one of those people who always needs a mountain to climb. When I get up a mountain as far as I think I'm going to get, I try to find another mountain.'
